Yes, David is right, in the case demonstrated by your screenshot, the customize interface asks for the sexp 'all -- not just all, since the value of the variable is indeed 'all -- not all :) If this is the case, shouldn't this be a dropdown menu with sexp as an option for entering your own symbols? I'm not sure what you mean. Defining local settings lets you pick up a local setting from a list (defined in org-agenda-custom-commands-local-options). When selecting the last choice Any variable, it lets you define a variable that is *not* in this list (there are so many of them available!) -- such a variable asks for a sexp. It's just a minor gripe, and one for which I would submit a patch if I knew enough elisp. Maybe I misunderstood what you ask... please rephrase if necessary :) Best, -- Bastien ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] [bug] Must declare value as string in org-agenda-custom-commands easy customize interface
Only a minor annoyance. Posting in case anyone else runs into the same issue. In the easy customize interface, when setting the value for a variable in local settings for a custom command, the org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines value of all must be preceded by a single quote.[1] I expected this to automatically happen, as the easy customize interface generally takes care of such escaping. The parenthetical sexp leads me to believe this is the intended behavior. Is this correct?
